Volevo condividere il mio modo di gestire questi requisiti. Non volevo affatto usare SessionState, né volevo che fosse gestito dal lato client, e il metodo serialize richiede MVC Futures che non volevo includere nel mio progetto.
Invece ho creato un Helper HTML che itererà attraverso tutte le proprietà del modello e genererà un elemento nascosto personalizzato per ognuna. Se si tratta di una proprietà complessa, verrà eseguita in modo ricorsivo su di essa.
Nel tuo modulo verranno inviati al controller insieme ai dati del nuovo modello in ogni fase della "procedura guidata".
L'ho scritto per MVC 5.

Ora per tutti i passaggi della "procedura guidata" è possibile utilizzare lo stesso modello di base e passare le proprietà del modello "Passaggio 1,2,3" nell'helper @ Html.HiddenClassFor utilizzando un'espressione lambda.
Puoi anche avere un pulsante Indietro in ogni passaggio, se lo desideri. Basta avere un pulsante Indietro nel modulo che lo pubblicherà in un'azione StepNBack sul controller utilizzando l'attributo formaction. Non incluso nell'esempio seguente ma solo un'idea per te.
Comunque ecco un esempio di base:
Ecco il tuo MODELLO
public class WizardModel
{
// you can store additional properties for your "wizard" / parent model here
// these properties can be saved between pages by storing them in the form using @Html.MinHiddenFor(m => m.WizardID)
public int? WizardID { get; set; }
public string WizardType { get; set; }
[Required]
public Step1 Step1 { get; set; }
[Required]
public Step2 Step2 { get; set; }
[Required]
public Step3 Step3 { get; set; }
// if you want to use the same model / view / controller for EDITING existing data as well as submitting NEW data here is an example of how to handle it
public bool IsNew
{
get
{
return WizardID.HasValue;
}
}
}
public class Step1
{
[Required]
[MaxLength(32)]
[Display(Name = "First Name")]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
[Required]
[MaxLength(32)]
[Display(Name = "Last Name")]
public string LastName { get; set; }
}
public class Step2
{
[Required]
[MaxLength(512)]
[Display(Name = "Biography")]
public string Biography { get; set; }
}
public class Step3
{
// lets have an array of strings here to shake things up
[Required]
[Display(Name = "Your Favorite Foods")]
public string[] FavoriteFoods { get; set; }
}
Ecco il tuo CONTROLLER
public class WizardController : Controller
{
[HttpGet]
[Route("wizard/new")]
public ActionResult New()
{
WizardModel _model = new WizardModel()
{
WizardID = null,
WizardType = "UserInfo"
};
return View("Step1", _model);
}
[HttpGet]
[Route("wizard/edit/{wizardID:int}")]
public ActionResult Edit(int wizardID)
{
WizardModel _model = database.GetData(wizardID);
return View("Step1", _model);
}
[HttpPost]
[Route("wizard/step1")]
public ActionResult Step1(WizardModel model)
{
// just check if the values in the step1 model are valid
// shouldn't use ModelState.IsValid here because that would check step2 & step3.
// which isn't entered yet
if (ModelState.IsValidField("Step1"))
{
return View("Step2", model);
}
return View("Step1", model);
}
[HttpPost]
[Route("wizard/step2")]
public ActionResult Step2(WizardModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValidField("Step2"))
{
return View("Step3", model);
}
return View("Step2", model);
}
[HttpPost]
[Route("wizard/step3")]
public ActionResult Step3(WizardModel model)
{
// all of the data for the wizard model is complete.
// so now we check the entire model state
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
// validation succeeded. save the data from the model.
// the model.IsNew is just if you want users to be able to
// edit their existing data.
if (model.IsNew)
database.NewData(model);
else
database.EditData(model);
return RedirectToAction("Success");
}
return View("Step3", model);
}
}

@Html.MinHiddenFor(m => m.WizardID)
@Html.MinHiddenFor(m => m.WizardType)
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Step1.FirstName)
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Step1.FirstName)
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Step1.LastName)
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Step1.LastName)
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
}

@{
ViewBag.Title = "Step 2";
}
@using (Html.BeginForm("Step2", "Wizard", FormMethod.Post))
{
@Html.MinHiddenFor(m => m.WizardID)
@Html.MinHiddenFor(m => m.WizardType)
@Html.HiddenClassFor(m => m.Step1)
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Step2.Biography)
@Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.Step2.Biography)

}
Passaggio 3
@model WizardModel
@{

{
@Html.MinHiddenFor(m => m.WizardID)
@Html.MinHiddenFor(m => m.WizardType)
@Html.HiddenClassFor(m => m.Step1)
@Html.HiddenClassFor(m => m.Step2)
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Step3.FavoriteFoods)
@Html.ListBoxFor(m => m.Step3.FavoriteFoods,
new SelectListItem[]
{
new SelectListItem() { Value = "Pizza", Text = "Pizza" },
